  • Diane Birch is a singer songwriter born in Michigan, USA on January 24, 1983. Diane spent her childhood in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia (Sydney). Her father was a seventh-day Aventist preacher and took his family wherever he worked. When she was ten, her parents relocated from South Africa back to the US, and settled in Portland, Oregon. Birch began studying piano using the Suzuki method at the age of seven. When she was old enough to leave home, she moved to L.A. and pursued work as a "pianist for hire". Eventually she landed gigs at the Beverly Hotel and L'Orangerie in Los Angeles. She then moved to London after being discovered on myspace where she signed a publishing deal and wrote a majority of her debut album. In 2007 she moved to New York after signing to Steve Greenberg's S-Curve Records. Birch's first album, Bible Belt, was released in 2009 on S-Curve Records and incorporates many styles of music, including blues, soul and gospel. The album was produced by the Grammy Award-winning team of Steve Greenberg, Betty Wright and Michael Mangini. Birch says her influences for the album were multi-dimensional, but included her father who is a church pastor. Birch wrote the words and music for all the tracks on Bible Belt. Her television début was on CBS' Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 22, 2009. She also appeared on Late Night with David Letterman on July 22, 2009. While the session work on the "Bible Belt" album was performed by studio musicians, Diane's steady band is comprised of Jay Foote on Bass and Tambourine, Eric Bloom on Trumpet and Flugelhorn, and Alex Foote on Guitars.[2]
